Application filed August a, 1921. Serial No. 490,606.

To all to/tom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANKLIN B. SUTLIFF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jamison City, in the county of Columbia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Guns, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to guns generally and has for its principal object to provide simple and eflicient means for cocking'the hammer.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature which will be durable and inexpensive to construct, one which is efiicient and reliable in operation, and well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.

With these and numerous other objects in view, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawing: 7

Figure 1 is a sectional view showing the mechanism after the gun has been fired and,

Figure 2 is a sectional view showing the mechanism before the gun has been fired.

Referring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that l designates the neck portion of a gun stock of any preferred construction in which is slidably mounted a firing pin 2 which is normally held in an inactive position by means of an expansion coil spring 8 which is disposed between the wall 1 and the head 4: of the pin 2. A hammer 6 is pivotally mounted within the stock 1 by means of a pin 7 adjacent its lower end and is pro vided with a reduced rounded portion 8 so as to form the shoulder 9. A lug 10 is formed on the hammer 6 above its pivot point and a .link 11 is pivotally attached thereto. The main trigger 12 is pivoted in the stock 1 so as to extend through the slot 13 and its upper extension it is adapted to engage the shoulder 9 so as to hold the hammcr 6 in a cooked position as shown clearly in Figure 2. A spring 15 operating in the notch 16 and fixed at 17 to the stock is adapted to force and hold the extension 14 in en gagement with the shoulder 9. A cocking trigger 19 is pivoted in the stock 1 and has its finger piece 20 extending through the slot 21. A bar 22 is formed integral with the finger 20 and extends at right angles thereto so that the cocking trigger 19 will have a substantially T-shape. One end of the bar 22 is pivotally connected to the link 11 while the other end thereof is situated under the main leaf spring 23 which is fixed at 2 1 to the interior of the stock 1. This leaf spring 23 tends to push downwardly upon the rear end of the bar 22 which through the intermediary of the link 11 tends to force the hammer 6 against the firing pin 2. A set screw 25 is threadedly mounted through an aperture in the lower side of the stock 1 so as to limit the downward movement of spring 23.

From the foregoing description, takenin connection with the accompanying drawings, the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood without a more extended explanation. As numerous changes in form, proportion, and in the minor details of construction may be re sorted to without departing from the spirit of this invention, 1 do not wish to be limited to the construction herein shown and described other than as claimed.

Having thus described nay-invention what I claim as new is '1. In combination, a cooking mechanism comprising a firing pin, a hammer associated therewith, means for holding the hammer in a cooked position, a cocking trigger of substantial T-shape having one end thereof attached to the hammer, a spring engaging the other end of the cocking trigger for forcing same to a position that will actuate the hammer against the firing pin.

2. in combination, a firing pin, means on the firing pin for holding the same normally in a retracted position, a hammer pivotally mounted, means for holding the hammer in a cocked position, a link pivotally attached to the hammer, a cocking trigger pivotally attached to the link, and a spring for engaging the cooking trigger so that when the hammer is released it will be forced against the firing pin in the manner and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANKLIN B. SUTLIFF.
